March Luncheon Forum

"Business and Ethics"

You can't watch cable news, listen to talk radio, or read newspapers and blogs without being appalled at the latest Wall Street scandal or financial scam. What has happened to accountability and ethics in business? And how can the media fully explain this complex issue? The Press Club is sponsoring a forum featuring Dr. Ira Kodner of Washington University's School of Medicine, who directs the Center for the Study of Human Values and Ethics, and Dr. Stuart Yoak, executive director of the Center and a professor at Washington University who teaches business ethics. The Center is unique in that it supports the study, research and teaching of ethics across all disciplines and professions. A business journalist, to be announced, also will join the panel.

"Face the Nation: A Girls Night Out"

Press Club announces $8,000 raised for the Tim Russert Scholarship Fund from the "Face the Nation: A Girls Night Out" event co-sponsored by Neiman Marcus.

It was an evening of glamour and fun as 114 guests gathered to enjoy and learn make-up and beauty secrets from the best, while helping to raise funds for the Press Club of Metropolitan St. Louis Scholarship Fund! Special thanks for the delicious hors d'oeuvres provided by the Zodiac Room at Neiman Marcus and for the fine libations donated by Sugar Creek Vineyards and Winery of Defiance, Missouri. And double thanks for the hands-on demos by Jo Malone fragrances and Jemma Kidd makeup, as well as the hand and arm massages by La Mer. And of course, for the onstage transformations by Roy Haidar, Jemma Kidd's "make-up artist to the stars" of the already lovely Dorothy Weiner, editor-in-chief of Ladue News, and multi-media star Carol Daniel (of KMOX radio, the St. Louis American newspaper and KMOV-TV).

The $8,000 raised by FACE THE NATION ticket sales, raffle items and donations will provide seed money for the Press Club's new Tim Russert Journalism Scholarship. In memory of the late and longest-serving moderator of NBC-TV's "Meet the Press," the scholarship will help pay the tuitions of students in the bi-state area who wish to major in broadcast/TV journalism at a college or university, also in the bi-state area.
